Quote:As long as we stay on topic, I think it is fine to have a discussion here. Please do not view my objections as personal, I have simply read that you aimed to depict a realistic look of the hoplites and their equipment, so I wanted to helpAny help or suggestion is more than welcome,don't worry :wink:
This is in fact second or third correction,thanks to anonymous artist who said bronze was not metallic enough and "hoplite14gr" and his donation of Laconian shield device instead of Phigalian I originally falsely used. I look forward correcting it as long as I have the skills to do it.
NOTE: corrected it..in classical hoplite I added simple cloth in left hand,for clear purpose.
I have to say whole arm guard story is not really clear for me,and if original image had bare lower arms I would left them like that,especially for archaic type(I am not sure this type of arm guard was used 7th century BC).

I would only like to ask one of those who now shamelessly praise themselves:
Would he, if he had my plane and I his, take off to fight,as I did,as we all did?
And we all know the answer....
